Neil Diamond, Joanne Robertson, CAN 2024, Documentary, 88', OmenglU
The potlatch was a ceremony of the indigenous peoples on the northwest coast of the USA and Canada. During this ceremony, gifts were distributed to consolidate social status and celebrate birth, marriage or death.
"From 1885 to 1951, the indigenous potlatch ceremony was banned under Canadian law. Those who defied the ban were arrested and masks and ceremonial objects were confiscated. The Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw Nation has made it their mission to track down these sacred objects. In some cases, the masks made their way across the country and eventually to Europe, where they found their way into museums and private art collections and ended up in the hands of surrealists such as Max Ernst, André Breton and Joan Miró. So Surreal: Behind the Masks traces the delightful fusion of the Yup'ik sensibility with the Western avant-garde movement and shows the enormous influence of indigenous art ... This highly entertaining film by Neil Diamond (Reel Injun, 2009) and Joanne Robertson is part thriller, part art documentary. " (International Film Festival of Ottawa).
Admission and participation free of charge. No registration required.Translated with DeepL
